Just in case you were concerned that the 3D revolution hadn't yet taken over the scientific research field, EPFL is here to convince you that all is well. Researchers from a pair of EPFL laboratories have recently invented a fly-inspired dome camera that's not only loaded down with cameras to snag views from (nearly) all angles, but also equipped with an output algorithm that constructs a bona fide 3D image. The trickeration lies within the hardware platform, which calculates depth on each camera image and then reconstructs a 3D visual based on how far away things truly are. That's a far more sophisticated approach than the stereoscopic one used on existing 3D televisions, as the depth would (theoretically) change as your angle of view changed. There's an outstanding patent application on the approach, and if the world at large latches on, we could see this thing used for "video surveillance, movie making, and creating backgrounds for video games." Among other things, of course. A demonstrative vid awaits you just after the break.Continue reading EPFL's fly-inspired 3D camera takes omnipresence to the third dimension (video)

FTC Do-Not-Track: feasibility is just fine, consumers are smarter than advertisers think, and consumers will win - http://bit.ly/giPfIN
Perhaps WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is wondering the same thing. Which would explain why only account @WikiLeaks is following at the moment is @TweetBackup, a service that allows you to back up your tweets daily.
Tweetbackup, run by Backupify, requires that you follow it in order to use it, which means that Assange has no other choice but to follow if he wants Tweetbackup to preserve his tweets in case of a takedown.
It’s interesting to note that by some kind of default Assange, who has all eyes on him at the moment, is basically advertising one service and coincidentally one that protects your Twitter data in cases of deletion. I’ve contacted Twitter as to whether they would take down the @WikiLeaks account under any circumstances and have yet to hear back.
In the meantime TweetBackup representative Charlie Ungashick tells TechCrunch that they haven’t tried to DM Assange, despite being the only people in the world who have the power to do so. I’m amazed at their powers of resistance and/or indifference.
